<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Money does not matter, scores do. In
the past, was it not work or lose your best round? THAT keeps people on
their toes.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I also heard that some people
coming to FAI and Masters did not submit TWO frequencies, creating matrix
hassles. Same here- assign the matrix to make sense and if the person does
not have his alternate frequency as was requested on the NATS entry form
then he simply does not fly that round. The CD needs relief, and the contestants
need the MOST fair matrix that can be had.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">No one, after getting ready for the
NATS for months, and spending all the money it takes to get to Muncie and
stay there 5 days can claim either a time constraint or money constraints
for getting a second frequency. No excuse what so ever-according to Gray.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Does anyone in Master's or FAI who did
not bring a second frequency care to post why they chose not to, creating
these matrix hassles?</font>

<br><font size=2><tt>Last week at the Nats, I had a talk with Nats event
director, Dave <br>
Guerin about judging no-shows. On the very first morning, Dave had
at <br>
least three no-shows (F3A pilots who were supposed to judge the Master
<br>
class). You can imagine the frustration of trying to reschedule pilots
<br>
to cover for them, not to mention the delay in getting the events <br>
started. This was not an isolated case. It happened over and
over <br>
during the week. Some just forgot when they were supposed to judge.
<br>
There were even some who were scheduled to judge on the third day, who
<br>
decided to leave after two days and didn't tell anyone.<br>
<br>
We discussed having a "$50 judging rebate". It would work
like this: <br>
In addition to the normal entry fees, $50 would be collected. If
a <br>
pilot showed up to perform his scheduled judging session, he'd get a <br>
$50 rebate. If a pilot didn't show up to perform his scheduled judging
<br>
session, the replacement judge would get the $50. BTW, the normal
<br>
stipend for pilots who perform extra judging sessions is $30. <br>
